Are these the orange specks I should be worrying about? Is this mold???

I know there’s a little bit of hooch on top there, but are those little orange specks actually mold?
I keep this in the fridge and feed once every week or two. I fed it the other morning (and it rose normally) and meant to feed it at night but work got crazy and I ended up leaving it on the counter overnight.
The next morning (yesterday) I just threw it in the fridge because I didn’t wanna leave it out. Took it out today to let it warm up before feeding (wanted to bake this weekend) and just noticed that big orange speck and a bunch of little ones.
I use KA white and KA whole wheat in my feedings so I dunno if it’s possibly related to that.
Am I screwed here? Do I have to start over?
Those flecks look like the bran from the whole wheat four.
Hey thanks! Yeah I think you’re right. The big fleck kinda scared me a bit but it looks normal to me now. Think I’m good and if I’m not — I’m blaming you specifically.
Nah I kid. Or do I?
I doubt mold grows that fast but idk. I'm guessing something in the ingredients? check your flour and pour a glass of water and leave it overnight.
